RUNWAY

There’s nothing quite like a neutral collection, especially if said collection takes its inspiration from the most eclectic of artists. In an unexpected juxtaposition, Piazza Sempione channeled Jackson Pollock’s work for Fall/Winter 2015. The result was surprisingly refreshing, a sophisticated but fun lineup made for the fashion kid who is making an attempt to grow up.

The invite to Anya Hindmarch’s show read “Expect Severe Delays” and it did just that, starting much later than its scheduled time. However, Anya Hindmarch is one of the most anticipated events on the London Fashion Week calendar: she has a reputation for holding some of the most entertaining presentations.

Whose house were we in? Inside Erdem’s show venue, Erdem Moralioğlu transported the audience back into the ‘70s. Guests shuffled into an elaborate set transformed into a retro apartment, filled to the brim with wicker furniture, shaggy rugs, velvet throws and patterned wallpaper.

The Jasper Conran show at London Fashion Week promised something special. As soon as guests entered the venue at Somerset House, they were struck by the fascinating runway: old, crunchy leaves picked in their golden splendor filled the entire runway, making the scene the absolute picture of autumn.

During Fashion Month #FOMO is real. One missed Instagram post from your favorite style star or model and suddenly you’re hearing about after parties from a friend of a friend, or worse, reading about it the next morning. If you’re lucky enough to be sitting front and center during fashion week then kudos!

New York Fashion Week has finally come to a close for the Fall/Winter 2015 Season. For the first time, NYFW was held the same time as NBA All Star Week, creating a cold city full of celebrities and events that spanned from Lincoln Center to downtown.

For Fall 2015, the Lie Sangbong collection, Oriental Ink, was a beautiful, on-trend, step toward a seriously fashionable winter wardrobe. Using a color palette of black, white and red, the line was inspired by Asian aesthetics without ever making its source material the focus of the collection.

It’s almost too easy to pass over ICB when talking about major labels during New York Fashion Week. The brand is not particularly popular, and in its 20 years of business, it’s been shuttered for 10 of them.

Personally, we enjoy reviewing Mara Hoffman’s runway collections—they never fail to spice up our day with a little color and fun. But lately Hoffman has been growing more serious, trading in her iconic rainbow colorways and beachside aesthetics for a more sophisticated look. And we sort of love it.

Inspired by a trip to the Alps, Zoë Jordan’s Fall 2015 collection is entitled Serac, the French-Swiss word for a “block or column of glacial ice.” And that’s exactly what was seen in her ready-to-wear presentation today.

Marissa Webb, the designer who most notably took over the creative director position at Banana Republic last year, presented her Fall 2015 RTW collection yesterday. Showing at New York Fashion Week, Webb’s runway was filled with tomboy aesthetics and the same edgy twists on basics that her followers have come to expect.

New York Fashion Week starts Thursday. This means crowded runway shows, street-style shots and entirely new collections to covet—but it also means a huge boost for the American economy. While most of us are blinded by the glitter and glamour of the stages, behind-the-scenes millions of dollars are being poured into the city.

Congrats, guys! After much speculation and years of planning, it looks like you’re finally getting your own Fashion Week in New York! Today the Council of Fashion Designers of America announced that there will be a NYFW: Men’s beginning this summer.
